A big shout out to Port Charlotte resident, and the World’s Best Uncle, Doug Wernett who is a big Phillies fan. I suspect he will be watching today. Kyle Kendrick is pitching in support of Uncle Doug and the Phillies today against David Price. Ryan Howard finally has another day off after a Iron Man-like stretch of Spring Training action.

If you skip Ian’s bio, and the you may also like, Dave’s question is immediately after
9. Martinez – CF. There’s a message there, no doubt.

I don’t know, but I think Monday would be a very good guess.

I’d have liked to have seen a little different batting order today. Take advantage of Brown’s confidence built spring, and bat him higher than 7. He’ll only face Price once, so it’s not that big a deal, but I’d have liked to have seen him either at 3 instead of MY, or ahead of Mayberry and Ruf at 5 or 6. Mike Young, for what it’s worth has K’d 7 times against the Pricey one in 17 career at bats.

This is an impressive deal by the Braves today. They’ve scored 14 runs against Houston throuh 4. They are 9-9 with RISP, and have left only 3 men on base. Not bad for a team that figures to have their share of Ks over the year.
